هَطَلَتْ أَمْطَارٌ غَزِيرَةٌ فِي قِطَاعِ غَزَّةَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ، ٧ نُوفَمْبَرَ ٢٠٢٦. وَغَمَرَتِ الْمِيَاهُ خِيَامًا كَثِيرَةً يَعِيشُ فِيهَا نَازِحُونَ. وَدَخَلَتِ الْمِيَاهُ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْخِيَامِ، وَأَتْلَفَتْ أَغْرَاضَ عَائِلَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. وَقَالَتْ وَكَالَةُ وَفَا الْفِلَسْطِينِيَّةُ إِنَّ الْمَطَرَ أَضَرَّ أَيْضًا بِجِدَارِ مَبْنًى قَدِيمٍ فِي شَمَالِ الْقِطَاعِ. وَأُصِيبَ شَخْصَانِ عِنْدَمَا سَقَطَ الْجِدَارُ.
وَتَقُولُ تَقَارِيرُ الْأُمَمِ الْمُتَّحِدَةِ إِنَّ أُسَرًا كَثِيرَةً فِي غَزَّةَ تَحْتَاجُ إِلَى مَأْوًى أَفْضَلَ قَبْلَ الشِّتَاءِ. وَتُظْهِرُ أَحْوَالُ النَّازِحِينَ أَنَّ بَعْضَ الْخِيَامِ لَا تَحْمِيهِمْ جَيِّدًا مِنَ الْمَطَرِ وَالْبَرْدِ. وَيَجْعَلُ الْمَطَرُ الْحَيَاةَ أَصْعَبَ لِلْعَائِلَاتِ الَّتِي لَا تَمْلِكُ مَكَانًا آمِنًا وَجَافًّا.

Heavy Rain Floods Displaced Families’ Tents in Gaza
Heavy rain fell in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Water flooded many tents where displaced people live. Water entered some tents and damaged many families’ belongings. The Palestinian news agency WAFA said the rain also damaged a wall of an old building in the north of the Strip. Two people were injured when the wall fell.
United Nations reports say that many families in Gaza need better shelter before winter. The conditions of displaced people show that some tents do not protect them well from rain and cold. Rain makes life harder for families who do not have a safe, dry place.
